On Monday last, a lady, accompanied by her bro ther, a member of the Irish bar, while walking in the Long Walk with the expectation of seeing her Majesty, dropped her gold watch, but did not discover her loss till some time after, but no sooner was the discovery made than the lady and her brother commenced a diligent search, but without success. The next morning the loss was proclaimed by the town crier, and a reward offered for its recovery, but with no better auc cess. The gentleman, as a sort of forlorn hope, in the after noon again paced the walk, and there, strange to say, he dis covered the lost treasure. The watch had not sustained the least injury, although the spot on which it was found was en tirely cut up by horses' feet.— Windsor Express. Inquests were held yesterday and Monday on the bodies of William !lodges and Sophia Ratten, who were drowned off Woolwich on the morning of Wednesday, the 9th inst., by the upsetting of a boat. The accidebt was at tributed by those who witnessed it principally to tho small size of the boat,—Verdict—. , A ec id entet Death.), On Monday night a e ery numerous meeting of the working el asses beloneing to the Finsbury district, was held at the flail of Science, City-road, for the purpose of taking into consideration the resolutious agreed to at the great Birmingham meeting respecting the collection of the Na tional Rent, to be placed at the disposal of the General Convention of the industrious classes, appointed to meet in London to watch the progress of the " National Peti tion" and " The People's Charter," and for the appoint ment of a Committee for the district of Finsbury. The assembly-room was so densely crowded that it was almost impossible to procure even standing-room. At half-past eight o'clock Mr. Mitchell, a member of the Working Men's Association, was called to the chair. Mr. CAMERON rose to propose the first resolution. The time had come when they were called upon to take their bus:ness in their own hands, and he trusted they would do so, not. in name, but in reality.—(Hear.) The Radicals of Birmingham, to whose indefatigable exertions the cause of liberty was so much indebted, had called upon the Radi cals of England to assist them in carrying into effect one of the best measures that had ever been suggested or pro posed since the passing of the Reform Bill.—(Cheers.) Should they respond to the call ?—(Cries of " Yes?') They were called on, then, by their Birmingham friends to col lect a national rent, in order to cure out the People's Charter.—(Cheers.) A collection of sixpence each from those individuals who were favourable to their cause would soon realize a very considerable amount. —(Hear, hear.) They were not called upon to give a precursory shilling for en indefinite object.—(Hear, hear)—but merely sixpence each, for the promotion of those measures I.yrst calculated to relieve them from their political degradation. (Loud cheers.) It was very certail that they could not much longer be denied the principle of Universal Suffrage—the country was now in an rxcited state—the work of agitation was going admirably on, and even Lord John Russell himself at Liverpool, where he had been coolly received, did not fail to advert to those demonstaations, without evincing any wish to see them put down ; but, on the contrary, he recognized the right of free discussion.—(Cheers.) It had been given as an argument against Universal Suffrage that it would be dangerous to the peace and welfare of the community. It was asserted by their enemies that the use they would make of this privilege would be to wrest it to their own de struction, and, if this were the case, why didn't they let them try.—( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It was said that it would produce universal discord, that all their Institu tions would fall into decay. that the national debt would be washed away by a piece of sponge, and the oligarchy be di •slrur f t vog r ir o ev t u et b t; l l e etehyi retdormei rights, rlerttensaa;. and— ( vested of their honours and dignities.—( Hear and laughter.) Now he did not think that they would be such fools as to destroy the property which they themselves had taken so and classesse abandonworki n working C the e y er rot s :o ) u d Let willinglythe all claim to the titles.--( Hear, hear.) Titles as at present used were nicknames—mere misnomers—continuous dis eases, wreck from of generation tir i nher i to rs . ( Loud he r to t o o rs ._ L o g eneration, ud cheers.) What, he would ask, would be the first great be nefit which they would derive from Universal Suf frige ? Why, they would be able to procure an universal education, and in the second place, labour would meet with its due reward.—(Hear, hear.) Let them, then, he con jured them, be true to themselves, exercising nothing but kind and benevolent feelings towards all parties, and they would soon find themselves rewarded in the increased wel fare and happiness of the country. Mr. Cameron sat down amid loud cheering after proposing the first resolu tion, which was to the effect—That the meeting approved of the principles of the " People's Charter" and the " Na tional petition," as well as of the necessity of supporting the " National Convention of Delegates," chosen by the diff!rent districts to promote those objects, and therefore deemed it a necessary duty to assist them with funds to render their labours effective. They therefore resolved, that a " National Rent Committee for the district of Fins bury should be forthwith formed, for the purpose of assist ing in the collection of such fund, agreeably to the resolu tions passed at the Birmingham meeting." Mr. WATSON rose to second the resolution. It was stated that Universal Suffrage was objectionable, inasmuch as the working men were ignorant, and could not make a proper use of the privileges which it would confer. What light, he would ask, had the persons who argued thus to sit in judgment upon the intellect of the people of Eng land ?—( Hear, hear.) They had no justification whatever, for let the working men be ever so ignorant, he would war rant that they would not stultify themselves by returning a Parliament constituted like the present.—(Cheers.) Let them rally round the National Convention, and be deter mined to give them their hearty and entire support, and the r e was little doubt that they would soon establish the The question was then put, add carried unanimously.d that a C • Mr. STATHEM propose Comm ittee of twenty eight People's Charter in spite o f the most stubborn Parliam ent. tion o f the district , wit h leave to add to their n u m b ers . meeting at considerable length , Mr. S. addressed the persons should be appoi nted t o conduct the collec tion the utt er inutility of Universal Suffrage under an equal distrib ution of the present s ystem, withoutla • the mas s s of the pe o p le. tal W.

Mr. se declaratoryohn.The Mr. BOGGY proposed the rs_ , the approval of the meeting of the People's Charter, and of the National Petition, and of its determination to up hold the forty-nine delegates constituting the Natio na l C o nvention, and to form a National Re n t Committe e , to provide funds for the above purpose. Mr. HARTWELL said, with the contents of the National Petition they were all acquainted, and the People's Char ter merely embodied that Petition in the form of an Act of Parliament. The forty-nine delegates who would be appointed, would have to incur various expenses. They would have to wai upon the Members of Parliament, to impress upon them the necessity of voting for the People's Charter, and it would also be necessary to send mission aries to those parts of the country where the principles of the Charter may not be sufficiently known. For these purposes a great deal of correspondence would be neces sary, and a great deal of expense would be incurred. For these causes the people should assist them. He concluded by seconding the resolution, which passed unanimously. Mr. BA LLUM f ully supported the objects of the meeting. Mr. MURRELL—He called on his fellow-parishioners to persevere, and they would succeed in accomplishing the great object for w hi c h they had assembled.—(Hear.) Mr. HETHERINGTON said that the National Charter, of which he had spoken to them, was unanimously adopted at the different public meetings throughout the country to which it h a d b een submitted. The forty-nine delegates of whom they had heard, would watch in London, and pro mote the success of the National Charter by every means in their power. They would watch the Members o f Par liament bef ore they went to the House of Commons, and endeavour to get their assent to the Charter, and if they were refused they would write to the constituents of such Members, and explain to them what a bad Member they had got to represent them. The people were now for the first time taking practical steps to obtain their rights. _lf one million of individuals would only give a sixpence eac h, it would amount to a very considerable sum, to place in the hands of the delegates. If the people succeeded, one of the first things which they could do would be to establish a free Press. At present they m i g ht have cheap literature —but the m o(nent that anything political was introduced — the moment that any, complaint was made about the corn laws, that m oment the Legislature impose d th e necessity of purchasing a stamp._( Hear.) the A N4tia Committee nal Rent in was then t ap pointed . er wfor iieh h the i collection tr leattli, tig o l n n of the stnatp .a fter, adjourned.' This Railway, which is intended to connect the town of Preston with the Grand Junction, was opened on Monday. Shortly after eight o'clock, Hardman Earle, Esq. ; Joseph Hornby, Esq. ; Theodore Rathbone, Esq. ; Wm. Taylor, Esq. (the Chairman of the Preston ComMittee), and se veral Shareholders in the Company, started in an open carriage propelled by their No. 2 engine, manufactured by Messrs. Jones, Turner, and Evans, of the Viaduct Foundry, Newton, from Parkside, the place celebrated in Railway history as the spot at which the late Mr. Huskisson met his death. The entire line from Parkside to Preston measures 22 miles and a half. The first two miles and a quarter is up a slight incline and curve ; next come four miles of dead level, and perfectly straight. A steep incline, rising at the rate of one in a hundred, brings the traveller to the town of Wigan, the Company's fr t sta l tion on the line. Here a splendid station-hf;use has been erected, alike well adapted for the transaction of the Company's busi ness and general public accommodation. The line is carried, by means of an iron bridge, supported by mas sive pillars of the Doric order, across the turnpike-road leading into Wigan. This commences the Douglas con tract, undertaken by Messrs. Mullens and M‘Mayor, which extends five miles along the line to Coppull through some exceedingly heavy embankments and cuttings, in some places full sixty feet deep. In this distance there are two inclined planes, the highest rising in the ratio of 1 in 100. Coppull forms the summit, and here commences the Yar row contract, which is carried across one of the most beautiful valle) s in England. From Coppull to Yarrow there are three inclined planes, two short ones, and the third extending to more than a mile in length, and formed by embankments raised in places more than sixty feet abo , the natural level. The chief alteration in this line is the wooden bridge across the river Yarrow. It will be recol lected by those conversant with railroad affairs that a cu!vert of considerable extent had been formed across the river, and the embankment placed upon it. The floods of last November caused the river to overflow so considerably as to blow up the arches, and to carry away the embankment to a very considerable extent. The loss to the contractor was estimated at nearly 6,000/. In the place of this cul vert and embankment a bridge, made of frame-work, has been erected. It is 73 feet above the bed of the river, 400 feet long and 32 feet wide ; and in its construction more than 30,000 feet of timber was used. The prospect is truly beautiful. On the hill stands Gillibrand Hall, the seat of Mr. Fazakerley, and Chorley Church, and in the distance Rivington Pike or Hill, known as a land-mark for inward bound ships on approaching the port of Liverpool. There are two more inclines between the Yarrow-bridge and Pres ton, one at Leyland, the other at Farrington ; and imme diately previous to reaching Preston there is a deep exca vation, 41 feet cutting. The bridge over the river Ribble is a fino specimen of architecture, erected by Messrs. Mul lens and Co., at the coast of 40,000/. It is composed of five elliptic arches, of 150 feet span, and 33 feet rise. The stone of which it is constructed was raised from quarries at Lancaster and Whittl e , an d i s ca ll e d " Mill stone Grit," a very durable material. The span of the arches are the same as those of Waterloo Bridge, London. At this place the engine was stopped, and the Direct ors there terminated their trip. The distance from end to end was performed in forty-five minutes. After taking break fast in Preston, the directors returned to the Yarrow Bridge, where a thorough inspection took place. The en gine was made to p ass over the b r i dge severa l t i mes at a very rapid rate ; the vibration was scarcely perceptible, and some of the Company expressed to Mr. Mackenzie, the contractor, who was present, their approval of the manner in which this arduous task had been completed. The Directors in their trip were preceded by the No. 5 engine, built by Messrs. Hicks, of Bolton, which, with Messrs. Jones and Co.'s engine, worked admirably. The Directors, on their return, arrived at Parkside at twenty minutes past one o'clock. The line, it is exrc ted, will be open to the public on Wednesday week. The mails are not expected to run upon it prior to the 9th of next month. RAILWAY SHARES IN FRANCE. The sort of panic which lately induced the holders of shares in the Railroad Companies to part with their pro perty and surrender it an easy prey to speculators on their depression, appears to have again subsided. The prices of those shares have slightly improved ; still the state of the market does not look very satisfactory. If we except the Versailles (right bank) and St. Germain railroads, there i s not a single C ompany w h ose shares are not quoted below the nominal par. The most depreciated are those of the road between Strasburg and Basle, the shares of which lose 30 per cent., and that of Orleans, the fail in which is 4 ' per cent. ; the St. Germain road, which gained a premium of 110 per cent., is now only worth 660 f. per share. According to the bulletin of the Bourse, there is at pre sent in the social capital of the three roads between Paris and Orleans, Paris and Havre, and Strasburg and Basle, a diminution or loss equivalent to 21 millions of francs, or 12 per cent. Yet this capital has received no application, the works are scarcely commenced ; and even supposing that one of the Companies should be under the necessity of refunding the advances, the real loss would perhaps not ex ceed 3 or 4 per cent. Fear, we know, is blind, yet the state of the market is sufficiently precarious to awaken the solicitude of the holders. By hurrying the sale of their shares, they neces sarily augment their depreciation ; they moreover accele rate the period when it will no longer be possible for them to sell them, because no purchasers will be found ; and they prepare the way for a catastrophe of which they will be the first victims. lf, on the contrary, they wait for one of th: - ise reactions so frequent in the money-market, they will have a chance of retrieving the credit of enterprise, fur which they evinced at first so much eagerness. The railroad undertakings have to encounter a crisis, which will put their credit to a severe test. But this depression itself favours the placing of the shares. It was the low price of stocks that induced petty capitalists to lodge their money in public securities. If there exists no floating debt in the Five per Cents., it is because the holders hastened to vest their savings in that security as they were accumulating, and that the Five per Cents. were slowly rising from 47f. to 1101. Railroads are now placed in precisely similar circum stances. Let us suppose, for instance, a capitalist who has purchased shares in the Basle and Strasburg Railroad, at 347 f. 50c., the present price ; to what amount could he be a loser if the Company was obliged to refund the advances, and that the loss was .5 per cent ? Why, each holder would still receive 450 f. per share, which would leave him a clear profit of 100 f, or 20 per cent. If, on the other hand, the operation be completed and produce an interest of 5 per cent. per share, the holder who paid 347 f. - 50 e. for the title, will receive nearly 8 per cent. for his capital, and if the interests were limited to 33- per cent., his profit would still amount to 5 per cent. At all events this mode of placing one's money is attended with no risk, while it may happen that those who have had the courage to wait patiently will realize handsome profits. Our intention is neither to excuse nor aggravate by an light.e take tr " ue r Capitals are not wanting , and it is erroneous to suppose t u i n li t n i g m s e a ly s b w l e am fi e nd th t e he fa m u , lt a s h o d f , c ,i e e r w tai t n he C m om in pa t n h i e e i s t . that France can only devote 200,000,000 to purposes of industry. Confidence alone is wanting, and, i n t h e a b sence of confidence, reflection. ' The crisis proceeds from the de sertion of the market by capitalists, and its usurpation by speculators. Things will resume their natural course the moment speculators shall no longer be suff e red t o reign alone.—Courrier Francais. LAW INTELLIGENCE. - INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, OCT. 23. The Learned Chief Commissioner and Mr. Commissioner Harris sat to-day to hear applications for bail and motions under the new Bill. IMPORTANT OMISSION IN THE NEW LAW. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, on taking his seat, de livered the opinion of the Court on the question of bail, which power was given them for the first time under the new Act. They were anxious to carry out the clause as far as they could, and had looked through the law in the hope that they would be enabled to accept bail in country cases without the pro posed sureties attending the Court. They did not possess the power, and had therefore come to the determination not to ac cept bail unless the parties appeared. The insolvent was also required to attend, and in cases of persons who were in coun try prisons and applied to be discharged on bail the several parties must appear. On the question of amount the Court would be guided on reference to the detainers and debts in the schedule. No person would be discharged on giving bail for the detainers against him. With respect to the point raised on the last occasion as to whether the Court in opposi tion to bail would receive viva voce evidence or affidavits, he had to state that the majority of the Commissioners were for retaining the pow er an d exerc i s i ng their right to rece ive oral testimony wh e n th e y t h ought proper. The L earne d Commis sioner a entered at some length on the point raised. least the Mr. Cpulmisioner HARRIS remarked that the Court could do on the question of bail would be to lx the NEW COURT.

Stock, to whom they were lodgers. The wife of the prosecutor stated that a short time ago the prisoners, who said they were man and wife, took a ready.. furnished room at her house, where they remained about a week, when they locked the apartment and went away. When the door was broken open it was found that every valuable:and portable article had been carried away. Several witnesses were called to prove that they had seen the prisoners, the man in particular, frequently leave the house laden with bundles.

Frederick Cheuny. the driver of the cabriolet No. 491, was brought up on a warrant by Inspector Penny, of the G divi sion, charged with an assault upon Mr. Hugh Thomas, of Koppel-street, Cavendish-square. The prisoner was ordered to put in two sureties in 501. each to answer the charge, and to give twenty-four hours' notice of h a bail. Inspector Penny, of the G division, yesterday stated to the Magistrates that he had made inquiries at St. Bartholomew's Hospital as to the state of Catherine Donovan, who was so violently assaulted by Dennis Donovan, her husband, with an axe, and that she was getting on as well as could be expected, but was still in danger. She was able to speak, and on being asked by him (Penny) whether it was her intention to prose cute the prisoner in the event of her recovery, her reply was, Arrdh, where would be the good of it ?" The inspector added that the deep wounds on her head and arm were horrible to witness. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A gentleman named Daniel Dry, who said he lived at No. 2, Baker -street, Portman-square, was charged in the po lice sheet with having assaulted a person named Holmes. As no one appeared to support the charge when the case was called on, Mr. Conant inquired if any means had been adopted to procure the absence of the complainant. The defendant assured Mr. Conant that neither himself nor his friends had made any overtures to compromise the case with the complain There being no evidence, the defendant was of course dis charged. The complainant entered the office soon after this and told the Magistrate that he could not make his appearance earlier, for he had been so injured by the blows he had received that he had hardly been able to regain his senses. Mr. CONANT inquired if he wished to hare a warrant against the party who assaulted him ? The complainant re plied in the. affirmative, and a warrant was granted. On Monday and yesterday a number of persons assembled at the office in consequence of a report that had got very gene ally ab roa d t h at several noblemen and gentlemen were in .custody for a singular outrage committed at a tobacconist's in the Haymarket on Sunday morning. The report was that the parties in question wished to obtain some cigars. Finding the shop shut they hired a hackney-coach and drove the pole against the door of the shop, and thus succeeded in forcing it open. The report further alleged that nine of the ringleaders were taken into custody, amongst whom, was a certain well-known Marquis. The inquirers were told that no such case was likely to conic before the B.lich as it was not in the police sheet, and the C division of police, in whose district the affair was presumed to have happened, disclaimed all know ledge of the occurrence. One gentleman, who came to the office, declared be attended on behalf of a sporting Baronet, who was implicated in the transaction, as he had been re quested to do so by the party himself. Of course nothing of the sort, as reported, could have occurred, as it is impossible to suppose the Police Commissioners would have sanctioned a compromise.

Yesterday Millicent Ablethorp was charged before Mr. llostuNs with having embezzled various sums of money, the property of Mrs. Susannah Hutchinson, of No. 83, Wimpole street, Cavendish•square, in whose service she lived as cook. The prisoner was intrusted with money for the liquidation of various weekly bills of the different tradesmen in the neigh bourhood who supplied the family. Instead, however, of ap propriating the money to its proper use, she applied it to her own, obtaining bills from the tradesmen to which she forged receipts, and then delivered them to her mistress, so as to ap pear as if they had been regularly paid by her. The fraud having been discovered, the prisoner absconded, and was ap prehended by Mitchell, an officer of the establishment, just as she was about to start by the coach from the Blue Boar Inn, Holborn. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial.

Yesterday, Elizabeth _Bridgman alias Butler alias Jacques, was charged with giving a fictitious character of a man named Langford, who by that means obtained a situation, and robbed his employe' of between 2001. and 3001. It appeared that a man named Langford was committed from this office a few days ago on a charge of stealing a cash box containing money and biils to the above amount, the property of John Dyson, a chcescmonger, his employer. The complainant now stated that the prisoner Bridgman, to whom Langford referred, gave him an excellent character, saying that be was sober, honest, and industrious, and adding that he had lived in the service of her husband, whom she described had carried on business at the west end of the town. In con sequence of the character thus given Langford was engaged by the prosecutor, whom ho robbed to the t xtent above men tioned in a few days after he had been engaged. Upon sub. Sequent inquiry it was ascertained that the woman Bridgman's husband had been transported some time ago, and that there was no foundation whatever for the statement she had made to the prosecutor relative to Langford having lived in the capacity the represented. The fact was it was discovered then that the woman Bridgman was concerned with a gang of de predators who obtained situations through her medium with tradesmen, and then robbed them. A policeman said the prisoner was known to be in the habit of getting thieves into situations by her address and apparent repectability. The Magistrates then inflicted a full penalty of twenty pounds upon her for giving a false character of a man since committed for felony, and in default of payment she was sen tenced to three months' imprisonment.
